not at all if you do it properly...most muscles will recover in 48 hours or less depending on some variables. the problem is that the CNS takes longer to recover from a heavy bought of resistance training than the muscle does.
I would do a heavy day and a light day. the light day would actually be using a load of about 60% of your 1RM in that particular exercise or group of exercises. using a load of 60% of your 1RM does not induce any microtrauma to muscle cells. so while you are exercising them they are not constantly being broken down...

No, not at all but make sure that you give your muscles a chance to recover before you do too much. It is best to warm up the muscles and then slowly get into an exercise routine that will build up to a point of fatugue. When you reach that point give the muscles sufficient time to recover. The milder the workout the less time it takes to recover, the more demanding workout the more time it takes to recover. Be sure to properly eat the right stuff so that the muscles have the nourishment. If you do rigid workouts today and wear the muslce down, give it a day to recover and then do it again. If you overtax a muscle, it will let you know... Be smart about it and listen to your body.. good luck

No. For most muscle groups you should try to leave a day in between workouts. You could try doing upper body one day and lower body the next, with one day off a week. Some muscles, like abs, can be worked everyday.

muscles take 3 days to recover. 1-2x per week is fine. Just make sure you don't overtrain your muscles or esle they won't grow. Studies find that when trained correctly with a good diet, a muscle can grow up to 0.25-0.5 lbs. per week! So be patient and stick with it, in time you'll see results.

it truly is terrific to permit the muscle to heal, that way you will recuperate and gets the terrific effects out of your sooner or later each and every week work out. even nonetheless, in case you sense your muscle has completely healed, or it truly is not sore, then choose for it. merely undergo in techniques that while you at the instant are not noticing an enhance in the weights/reps of your workouts with the aid of the years, or the soreness does not sense like a usual muscle sore, then you definately could do merely one each and every week. ingesting protein without postpone after a piece out (i desire to advise one hundred twenty cal with 25g protein drink, like Dymatize or optimal nutrition) will help particularly with healing and effects. stable success!!

should not cause a problem at all as long as you don't overdo it. Though I have read that every second day or three times a week is actually better.
